Maybe it's for the best. I even stated there might be fireworks but everything has been pretty quiet. but the good thing is there haven't been any mistakes. we took Marcus Smart and James Young in the draft and were awarded an "A" for those picks. then an opportunity arose where the Celtics were at the right place at the right time just because we had what two other teams needed to make a deal. and for what cost us absolutely nothing we were handed Tyler Zeller, Marcus Thornton and a first round draft pick.
we are still sitting on an arsenal of draft picks and assets that if maneuvered correctly can give us the right pieces to be a contender this year. yes, that's correct, I said, "THIS YEAR!!! I am getting so sick and tired of hearing the word "tanking" or phrases like "maybe in a couple years" or "get rid of Rondo".
I don't think our players want to ever go through another season like last year. I don't think Ainge wants to either but there's plenty of time and anyone he brings in here now will be seasoned vets and will be ready to go.
